Instructions

In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Spoon about 2 tablespoons into the bottom of each jar and press lightly to form a crust.
In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes until apples are soft and syrupy. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter. Spread on a baking sheet and toast at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool.
Assemble the jars: Layer cheesecake filling over the graham crust, then add a spoonful of apple mixture, and top with the oat crisp.
Repeat layers if desired and finish with a sprinkle of oat topping and a drizzle of caramel sauce (optional).
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best texture.

Notes

Use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for the best flavor balance.
Can be made 1–2 days ahead — just add the crisp topping right before serving.
Top with caramel sauce or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Use small mason jars or clear cups for easy serving and storage.
